Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) comprises a group of inherited metabolic diseases. Each MPS type is caused by a deficiency in the activity of one kind of enzymes involved in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) degradation, resulting from the presence of pathogenic variant(s) of the corresponding gene. All types/subtypes of MPS, which are classified on the basis of all kinds of defective enzymes and accumulated GAG(s), are severe diseases.

Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a class of hereditary metabolic diseases that demonstrate itself by accumulating incompletely degraded glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). MPS are classified according to the kind(s) of stored GAG(s) and specific genetic/enzymatic defects. Despite the accumulation of the same type of GAG, two MPS diseases, Sanfilippo (MPS III) and Morquio (MPS IV), are further distinguished into subclasses based on different enzymes that are deficient.

Mass spectrometry-based investigation of the heterogeneous glycoproteome from complex biological specimens is a robust approach to mapping the structure, function, and dynamics of the glycome and proteome. Sampling whole wet tissues often provides a large amount of starting material; however, there is a reasonable variability in tissue handling prior to downstream processing steps, and it is difficult to capture all the different biomolecules from a specific region. The on-slide tissue digestion approach, outlined in this protocol chapter, is a simple and cost-effective method that allows comprehensive mapping of the glycoproteome from a single spot of tissue of 1 mm or greater diameter.

This study encompasses the validation of a simple, rapid, and sensitive HPLC/UV method developed in accordance with the guidelines set by ICH Q2(R2) for obtaining the active pharmaceutical ingredient from the glycosaminoglycan family in topical formulations. Previous methods reported for analyzing glycosaminoglycans in semisolid formulations are relatively complex and time-consuming, involving extraction, purification, and derivatization. This developed analytical method allows for straightforward extraction of the active pharmaceutical ingredient from the matrix, enabling the direct injection of samples.
